  Progressive activism today is increasingly spearheaded by the nation's youngest voters. Gen Z—those born between 1997 and 2012—has come of age in a decade of upheavals. They have witnessed the election of Donald Trump, the murder of George Floyd, and the Dobbs Supreme Court decision, and they have lived under the constant threats of mass shootings and climate change. In response, left-leaning Zoomers, particularly women and LGBTQ people, have banded together to take action. 
   
   
   
  This book tells the story of Gen Z's growing political participation—and why it is poised to drive U.S. politics leftward. Bringing together original data and compelling narrative—including nearly one hundred interviews with Gen Z activists and several national surveys—political scientist Melissa Deckman explores the world of youth-led progressive organizing, highlighting the crucial importance of gender and sexuality. She reveals why women and LGBTQ Zoomers are participating in politics at higher levels than their straight male peers, creating a historic "reverse gender gap." Deckman takes listeners inside Gen Z's fight for a more inclusive and just future, sharing stories of their efforts to defend reproductive rights, prevent gun violence, stem climate change, and win political office.

  Romantic Things - A Tree A Rock...

  Mary Jacobus

  Our thoughts are shaped as much by what things make of us as by what we make of them. Lyric poetry is especially concerned with things and their relationship to thought, sense, and understanding. In Romantic Things, Mary Jacobus explores the world of objects and phenomena in nature as expressed in Romantic poetry alongside the theme of sentience and sensory deprivation in literature and art. Jacobus discusses objects and attributes that test our perceptions and preoccupy both Romantic poetry and modern philosophy. John Clare, John Constable, Rainer Maria Rilke, W. G. Sebald, and Gerhard Richter make appearances around the central figure of William Wordsworth as Jacobus explores trees, rocks, clouds, breath, sleep, deafness, and blindness in their work. While she thinks through these things, she is assisted by the writings of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Derrida, and Jean-Luc Nancy. Helping us think more deeply about things that are at once visible and invisible, seen and unseen, felt and unfeeling, Romantic Things opens our eyes to what has been previously overlooked in lyric and Romantic poetry.

  For autistic adults, burnout isn't just "stress"—it's a profound, systemic collapse. It’s the result of a lifetime of masking, navigating sensory overload, and trying to meet neurotypical expectations. You've been told to "just try harder," but that's what got you here.

You'll learn to identify the hidden "debits" (like masking, social processing, and executive functioning) and schedule the restorative "credits" (like stimming, special interests, and radical rest). 
  Inside This Workbook, You Will:VALIDATE YOUR EXPERIENCE: Stop the cycle of shame with practical reframes for the "I'm lazy" and "I'm broken" thoughts.STABILIZE YOUR SYSTEM: Use the low-demand "Sensory First-Aid Kit" to stop the crisis and create a safe space to heal.AUDIT YOUR ENERGY: Use the core Energy Accounting System to create a personal map of your unique energy drains and rechargers.UNMASK SAFELY: Discover low-stakes exercises (from Module 6) to reclaim your authentic self and conserve massive amounts of energy.SET REAL BOUNDARIES: Get word-for-word scripts (Module 7) to advocate for your needs at work, with family, and with friends.REDESIGN YOUR LIFE: Build a proactive Sensory Diet (Module 8) to nourish your nervous system and prevent future burnout.GET SUPPORT: Includes a bonus "Communication Guide for Allies" to help your loved ones understand how to actually help.

  Fantasies of Nina Simone

  Since her death in 2003, Nina Simone has been the subject of an astonishing number of rereleased, remastered, and remixed albums and compilations as well as biographies, films, viral memes, samples, and soundtracks. In Fantasies of Nina Simone, Jordan Alexander Stein examines the space between our collective and individual fantasies about Simone the performer, civil rights activist, and icon, and her own fantasies about herself. Stein outlines how Simone gave voice to personal fantasies through releasing dozens of covers of her white male contemporaries. With her covers of George Harrison, the Bee Gees, Bob Dylan, and others, Simone explored and claimed the power and perspective that come with race and gender privilege. Looking at examples from Simone's four-decade genre-bending career—from songbook standards, jazz, and pop to folk, junkanoo, and reggae—and at her work's many uptakes and afterlives, Stein mobilizes the psychoanalytic concept of fantasy to build a black feminist history with and for this multifaceted performing artist.

  Cameos from English History -...

  Scenes from English history from Rollo the Norseman to the fall of Edward II, chosen for the moments that stay in a young mind: a king's oath, a siege, a betrayal, a coronation. Yonge wrote her cameos over many years for readers she expected to go on to the chroniclers themselves. She is a partisan of the twelfth century and does not pretend otherwise. Fifty-nine plates after painters including Turner and Maclise carry the same English scenes the text describes, from Trafalgar to Rouen and the fields near Gisors.
